This is not the proper update you are looking for... But a very brief Sunday ramble.

House&Life: new washing machine is a dream, I have mastered the drill and put up (with some assistance) curtain railingins LIKE A BOSS, we are fast approaching the 'will take pictures to post' state of housing. Cats have been going out a lot and coming back every time. Unnecessary amount of spiders though, bleugh.

Fandom, part 1: Have fallen into a hole called Guardian which is Chinese supernatural drama that provides the kind emotionally satisfying m/m romance at the centre of it that I've only previous found in fanfic. I blame [personal profile] mekare and [personal profile] rheasilvia whose intro post got me intrigued enough. If you like sould bonds and meaningful glances and ridiculous plots and tucking each other to sleep and identity porn this is for you. All on Youtube with (occasionally also hilarious but in a good way) English subtitles.

Fandom part 2: I got so many lovely things on my [community profile] fandom_stocking post, including two delightful bandom fics, a glorious Mal/Jayne Firefly fic that hit all my buttons, icons, recipes, links, pretties... So verklempt and grateful.

Fandom part 3: Been to see Mary Poppins Returns, and adored it. I have many feelings about Lin-Manuel Miranda, his eyes and my deep, deep need to see him as a romantic lead more. Also went to see Spiderverse which was amazing ([personal profile] apiphile, you didn't oversell it even a little) and deserves all the awards for the animation.

Fandom part 4: Umbrella Academy trailer!!! May be enough for me to break my Netflix resistance and take advantage of that 'you can borrow my logins' offer I've got. Looks so goooooooooooooood.



Fandom part 5: Trying to resist [community profile] 100fandoms because no, nooooooooooooo.

Fandom part 6, the Meme: Saw this on [personal profile] catdetective's journal and seemed like fun.

Send me a Trope and I’ll rate it!
No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know - plus, knowing me, I'll probably also ramble about it a bit :D


That's all for now. Going to take Christmas decorations down now...

I'll do an actual update, and also the proper Fic Round UP meme in a few days... But for now, have this, and have my good wishes for NY.


First Lines of 2018 Fics

(in order of posting)

"Your bodyguard is very... smiley."
(Unguarded, Mission: Impossible movies, Will/Ethan)

The third time Illya wakes up next to Napoleon Solo – both of them naked, limbs tangled together under the sheets – is the first time he doesn't simply run. (The Third Time, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2015, Illya/Napoleon)

Newt is an ocean away, deep in the Schwarzwald and practicing both his German and his diplomatic skills with a local werewolf pack, when Jacob shows up. (Simple Things, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Jacob/Newt)

"Here," the Doctor said, offering his coat. (Practical Solution, Doctor Who, Tenth Doctor/The Master (Simm))

"This is ridiculous," Nick says. (Part of the Role Description, Primeval, Nick/Stephen)

"Well, this is uncharacteristically nice of you, Clint," Natasha said, wiping sweat off her brow with a back of one hand while the other was keeping the weapon trained on the guys scattered across the floor. (Other Senses, MCU, Clint/Natasha)

He starts sleeping under her bed when they start affording to stay in places with actual beds.
(keep you close, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Gretel/Hansel)

When Finn wakes up, there are five people standing around his bed. (i don't want to hear sad songs anymore, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Finn/Poe/Rey)

Jim wakes up without his tentacles on a Wednesday. (Not Only for Emergencies, Star Trek AOS, Kirk/McCoy)

Ray hugs a lot. (Tactile Language, due South, Fraser/RayK)

At the start, Patrick tells himself not to feel like he’s responsible, that just because he’s a few years older and a few centuries wiser doesn’t mean he’s got some obligation. (put another dime in the jukebox, baby, Bandom, Patrick/Pete)

She should hate the forest, for all it’s taken; her parents, her childhood, her brother’s health. (broke off a dark twig, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Gretel/Hansel)

Gerard thinks in colour and drinks sunrises like cheap vodka, both of them going out of fashion, just like him.
(Character Sketch: Gerard Way, Bandom, Gerard)

He's used to it, everyone getting him wrong, everyone thinking they got him sussed. (Character Sketch: Brendon Urie, Bandom, Brendon

Everything Gabe does is for his family, and his family is everyone he touches, meets, knows about, everyone, everyone, everyone, he wants them all, safe and sound and his. (Character Sketch: Gabe Saporta, Bandom, Gabe)

He looks back and knows the weight of every decision he ever made, sees the shape of each path travelled, each road abandoned, feels it like an ache in his body, muscles twitching with phantom pain of life never lived. (Character Sketch: Bruno Tonioli, Strictly Come Dancing RPF, Bruno)

Everything has a place and position and purpose. (Character Sketch: Harold Finch, Person Interest, Harold)

In the end it boils down to this: his hands on the wheel, dried blood under his fingernails, Sam asleep on the passenger seat and the road disappearing mile by mile by memory. (Character Sketch: Dean Winchester, Supernatural, Dean)

The hunger opens in him like a fistful of knives, old and unforgiving. (Character Sketch: John Mitchell, Being Human, Mitchell)

The next time comes around much quicker than Will expected. (I’m Your Man, Mission: Impossible movies, Will/Ethan)

Autumn in Manchester is grey and full of misery that seeps into people’s bones, making them hunch up against the wind and the rain. (The Year of the Scavenger, Life on Mars, Gene/Sam & Chris/Sam)

Bodie’s world falls apart in April.
(in bloom, The Professionals, Bodie/Doyle)

Robbie can’t stop staring. (Summer Wine, Lewis, Hathaway/Lewis)

“You’re joking,” Hathaway says flatly even though the growing pile of clothes on the ground strongly indicates otherwise.
(Skinny-Dipping, Lewis, Hathaway/Lewis)

James wakes up sweating, sheets tangled around his limbs, sticking to his skin unpleasantly. (Morning After, Lewis, Hathaway/Lewis)

It’s not the dark that bothers her.
(the heat that drives the light, Harry Potter, Luna)

Bella has a house and a (beautiful, fantastic, demanding) garden. (Make Your Own, The Beautiful Fantastic, Bella/Vernon/Billy)

So here's a question to those of you who read fic with a d/s slant. Whether it's full on BDSM world AUs (like candy to me), formalised d/s relationships, or just characters being a bit toppy/subby in the bedroom (or out of it):

Do you have a really firm preference for a given pairing who is dominant, who submissive? Because boy howdy, I really do. There are certain pairings where I can. not. read. d/s flavoured fic if the dynamic written is opposite to my head canon. Like, I can see that the writing is great and the plot brilliant, whatever, but I just. can. not. And then. Some other pairings I don't mind at all which way the power pendulum swings.

To give you some examples, here's pairings where I cannot read (or have no interest in writing) fic with d/s dynamic unless it's in the specific direction as indicated below. Pairings listed in the dominant/submissive order

Hawaii Five-0: Danny/Steve
Person of Interest: Finch/Reese
Marvel: Bruce/Tony, Pepper/Tony, Steve/Bucky, Coulson/Clint
Bandom: Patrick/Pete, Gerard/Frank, Bob/Frank, Gerard/Mikey, Patrick/Gerard (look, Patrick tops everyone, okay?
Being Human: George/Mitchell
Stargate Atlantis: Rodney/John, Carson/Rodney, Radek/Rodney
Good Omens: Aziraphale/Crowley
Supernatural: Sam/Dean
Star Trek: McCoy/Kirk
Sherlock: John/Sherlock
Harry Potter: Remus/Sirius, Harry/Draco
NCIS: Tim/Tony
Grimm: Monroe/Nick
X-Men: Charles/Erik
Daredevil: Foggy/Matt

Common thread: it's the quiet, unassuming ones who bring it... I have a lot of head canon and feelings about this re the above pairings, ask me if you want to know more! Or get my thoughts on pairings not listed!

Furthermore, in the rare occasion I read het fic, I cannot stomach anything but femdom if power dynamics are introduced. Any hint of female submission in a het fic makes me extremely uncomfortable and I'll be hitting the back key no matter how good the writing, how healty/ssc the relationship portrayal etc.

Then again, there are tons of pairings where I don't mind switching it up (pun entirely intended). Mainly e.g. Panic boys from bandom (although I read Spencer as a top most of the time, I can be convinced otherwise), Hobbit/LOTR and, well probably some others.

Title: Other Senses
Author: MistressKat / [personal profile] kat_lair 
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Pairing: Clint/Natasha
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 1,762
Disclaimer: Not mine, only playing

Summary: That Clint was beaten black and purple enough to match his outfit, she'd expected. That he hadn't yet acknowledged her in any way, however, was a bad sign. A very bad sign.


Author notes: Written as a [community profile] fandom_stocking gift for [personal profile] mekare . Posted originally on AO3 here (as part of the collection), reposted on DW for sake of completeness!

Last day of the year. Last night I was out dancing and drinking with mum and T, one of my oldest friends. Today there is my aunt's birthday, visiting dad, and then seeing the NY in with T, mum and mum's partner. There may be more drinking. There may be writing the hit song of 2018 (T and I have written songs before and she's bringing her guitar).

In the meanwhile, I wish you all awesome 2018. Here's my Fic & Art Round-Up for this year, in case you get bored and fancy something to read.
